Tactical Victories Notwithstanding - the Greater Cloud of Calamity Looms

Reader comment on item: The Key Issue of Hamas vs. Israel
in response to reader comment: Good answers, but biggest question not asked.

Submitted by M Tovey (United States), May 27, 2021 at 20:20

While the debate of who won or lost the last exchange of missile and rockets still rages, the political (read strategic planning) outcomes is not so easily determined, since the one entity that should keep its nose out of the fray is not going to relent on its famously anti-Semitic cacophony tirades of illegal actions against Israel; the megalomaniac collection of marauders worthy of the crusades, instigating the necessary rhetoric to incite Hamas, and now Hizbollah, press for more Arab blood on behalf of the Persian Shiite Regime's pressure to keep Israel on the defensive. It is not about if there will be a continued ceasefire (sorry Blinken; futility is the name of your game plan), but when.
Next in view is Tisha Ba'av......
